Pastor Maldonado penalised for collision with Lewis Hamilton in European Grand Prix

Pastor Maldonado has been given a post-race drive-through penalty for his collision with Lewis Hamilton during the European Grand Prix.

The Venezuelan made contact with the McLaren driver on the final lap when trying to take third place away from the Briton.

Hamilton had to retire from the race while Maldonado went on to finish in 10th position.

The penalty, with 20 seconds added to his final time, drops Maldonado to 12th position, with Williams team-mate Bruno Senna getting the final point.

Maldonado had said after the race that he thought Hamilton was to blame for the accident.

"I don't know why he drove like that," Maldonado said. "He was struggling too much with the tyres. He was completely lost and at that moment I was getting very good pace. He tried a very aggressive move on me."
